It was a busy weekend!  It was an open water weekend with great results!
 
Saturday was Stress & Rescue day with Bubba Alex being found all over the lake without his buddy.  He seemed to find himself, stuck in the boat, laying on the bottom, panicking on the surface, running out of air numerous time.  Throughout it all, Bill, John, Mike and Chris kept dragging him back to shore and helping him get ready for his next dive.  I think they were ready to tie him up and leave him on the bottom by the time it was done.  At one point Bill turned to John and asked, isn’t this the same fool we just rescued from the boat?  Where is his buddy?  I am thinking that his buddy knew what kind of diver he was and left for the day.

Congratulations guys for putting up with us and finishing your Rescue course.

 

On Sunday, Bubba Alex and his other brother Madison showed up to go diving and the new Dive Guide Candidates were now tasked with rescuing them.  Additionally, Bill and Steve were tasked with taking them on several lead dives around the lake.  And, wouldn’t you believe it; they couldn’t stay together during those dives either!
 
After it was all said and done, Bill and Steve survived leading these wonderful divers around and in the process completed their Dive Guide and Dive Master programs.  And, we would like to take this opportunity to welcome Bill Fuqua and Steve Soulen to the Oceanic Ventures staff as our newest Dive Masters!  Welcome to the team!!!
